Should Town become a Razorback in time for the 2015 season, it’s an ideal situation for all parties. He’ll spend a year working as redshirt under veteran starter Brandon Allen, then compete to lead the Arkansas offense in 2016.

Arkansas is the second SEC program Ricky Town’s name has been mentioned in association with since news of transfer on Sunday. Florida came up immediately, given his ties to Gators offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier. As of now, however, there’s nothing more substantial than Nussmeier’s recruitment of Town when the former was at Alabama.

Defending Sun Belt champion Georgia Southern is without quarterback Kevin Ellison for the first two games of 2015. His absence could have a potentially huge impact on the Group of Five race for a New Year’s Six bowl, as the Eagles open with two resume games: at West Virginia Week 1, and vs. MAC favorite Western Michigan in Week 2.

The NCAA’s seemingly arbitrary ban on midrift shirts — popularized this past season by standouts like Myles Jack, Ezekiel Elliott and Shawn Oakman — is “unnecessary,” according to one player to rock the look.

Cal running back Daniel Lasco and UCLA’s Myles Jack talked about the style and substance behind the belly shirt with Emily Van Buskirk, and shared their reaction to the NCAA rule.

Jack said he’ll “push the rules,” but I think they’ll be fine if Oakman dares officials to enforce the penalty.
